A moment later, two uniformed guards pushed open the door and entered.
The HR manager pointed at An Yanan: "Watch her pack her things and then kick her out."
An Yanan was so angry that her face turned red: "Why are you kicking me out? It's illegal to fire an employee without cause. Believe me or not, I'll sue you."
Manager Wang held his forehead, utterly exasperated: "How could you be so stupid? Do I need to remind you? You're still in your probation period, you haven't signed a formal employee contract, and you're not protected by the Labor Law."
An Yanan was stunned for a moment; she had forgotten about this.
After having her belongings packed away as if she were being watched like a thief, she left the company gate in humiliation.
Just then, a car drove up from the side of the road and stopped at the entrance.
An Yanan recognized it at a glance as Zhou Sinian's car.
She threw down the suitcase she was holding and rushed over like a madwoman, pounding on the car window.
"Mr. Zhou, Mr. Zhou, please give me another chance."
Zhou Sinian frowned, not recognizing the person.
The driver ahead reminded them, "This is Xiao An, a new employee from the sales department. She's here today to take care of the young master."
Mentioning this, Zhou Sinian suddenly remembered that it was because she hadn't kept up with Zhou Yunnan.
Although the child wasn't lost, and they even luckily found Yun Qing, with such poor professional skills, keeping her around is like keeping a ticking time bomb. She might cause a major disaster at any moment.
Zhou Sinian got out of the car from the other end and walked up to An Yanan.
“Ms. An, dismissing you is a decision I have made after careful consideration. Don’t keep pestering me. Yun’an Group can’t accommodate someone as talented as you. You should look for another job.”
“No, I don’t want to.” An Yanan grabbed his sleeve. “President Zhou, please, I’m begging you, give me another chance. You may not know, but I joined Yun’an Group because of you. When you gave a lecture at our school during my senior year, I admired you very much. That’s why I went through so much trouble to come here, wanting to make a contribution for you.”
An Yanan knew that as a CEO, he might not care about the employees, and might even exploit and oppress them.
But as a man, when faced with a woman who admires him, he will be tolerant of her no matter what mistakes she has made.
However, this theory might work for others, but the person in front of her now was Zhou Sinian, who was known for being cold-hearted, aloof, and indifferent to women.
Sure enough, upon hearing An Yanan's words, Zhou Sinian's already serious expression became even colder and more terrifying.
"You mean, you like me?"
Seemingly surprised by his directness, An Yanan paused, feigned shyness, and lowered her head with a blush.
"Mr. Zhou, you...you're so mean! How am I supposed to answer that?"
This affected and pretentious manner made Zhou Sinian feel even more disgusted, and his voice seemed to be poisoned.
"Miss An, put away your wicked thoughts. I am not the kind of person who can be easily swayed by a woman's words."
“President Zhou, what do you mean? I just want a chance to stay with the company. Is that too much to ask? After all, I haven’t made any serious mistakes. You can’t trample on my self-respect just because I like it.”
"Hehe." Zhou Sinian was genuinely impressed by this woman's shamelessness at this moment. If he had possessed the ability to lie through his teeth before, he probably wouldn't have ended up like this...
"If you're going to put it that way, then I'm the one who's heartless."
An Yanan, however, failed to detect the sarcasm in his tone and thought there was hope: "President Zhou, I don't blame you. As long as you can let me stay, I believe you will see my value."
"Value? What value? The value of almost losing my son? I think you still don't understand. I've recorded our conversation. I reasonably suspect that you deliberately lost my son because you had ulterior motives towards me. If you keep harassing me, I will hire a lawyer to sue you. I don't know if you can afford to pay for it."
"How could you do this?" An Yanan was on the verge of tears. She never imagined that he would be so cruel to her.
Zhou Sinian was impatient with her appearance. She wasn't a heroine in a Qiong Yao novel. She was so ugly, how could she have the nerve to play the pitiful little white flower?
He pointed at the security guard at the door and said coldly, "Throw her out, and don't let her in again."
An Yanan's cries came from behind. When people in the company saw this, they all lowered their heads, not daring to look Zhou Sinian in the eye, for fear of being blamed.
Once he took the CEO elevator to the top floor, the company's group chat (without the CEO version) started flooded with messages.
Comrades, what's wrong with General Zhou today? The air pressure was so low when he passed by me just now, it scared me to death.
"I don't know," said Assistant Chen. @AssistantChen
【@Assistant Chen】
【@Assistant Chen】
Okay, now I'll give you a report on the president's schedule and mood forecast for today.
The previous part was that the young master almost got lost; those who don't know can check the chat history to catch up.
Everyone knows this, but what happened next?
Later, Mr. Zhou went there based on the location, and guess what? He ran into the former boss's wife!
...
There was a moment of silence in the group chat.
The next second, messages started popping up one after another.
So, is the former boss's wife really as beautiful as the rumors say?
[Was the boss crying and begging her to come back?]
[And also, did the young master help them out?]
How would I know? When the boss and I arrived, we only heard the young master call out "Mommy," and then the former boss's wife grabbed him and ran away. Aunt Bai wanted to chase after them, but the boss stopped her.
[They stopped it? Why?]
Hey Li, no wonder you're still single, you can ask such a question.
[Exactly! If he gets the child back on the spot, how will he explain meeting his ex-wife again later?]
[Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant! I never expected the boss, who usually seems so reserved, to have so many hidden thoughts.]
The group of several hundred people was a mixed bag. Some had heard of Zhou Sinian and Yun Qing's story and loved the divorced couple, while others felt sorry for Zhou Sinian and thought he shouldn't have gone back to his ex.
Is it really as exaggerated as you guys say? Maybe Mr. Zhou has already let it go. It's just that some people have read too many domineering CEO novels and think there's some real Mary Sue plot involved. I really don't believe he doesn't resent his ex-wife for abandoning him and their children because she was materialistic and greedy.
[Of course I feel resentment! But haven't you heard the saying, "Without love, where does hate come from?"]
[Haha, all these people know is how to talk about love all day long. I think they're just shipping couples. This kind of overthinking is a disease that needs treatment.]
[What's wrong with shipping couples? It's a fact that the boss has remained celibate for three years, and it's also a fact that he and the young master talk about his ex-wife all the time. Who's been wrong?]
